Crafting Needs a Place in Endgame Raiding

[Versiroth]

I could RMT my way to get a lot of gil and then spend that gil on a merc FC to carry me through end game. Result: I still paid my way to the top.

People aren't even asking to make top end stuff, they just want the stuff they can make to actual matter and be relevant.

You could pay for 10 runs of Coil (10 weeks) and never get a single drop. Heck, I've only gotten one piece of tank loot in the last 5 weeks doing Coil. There's the difference right there. If you could craft 110 gear, then I could RMT the gil, pay you, and then... I don't know... quit? I mean, I already have the best gear in the game.

As is, they give you entry level crafting gear (i70 before and soon to be i90), which is good enough. Your craftable gear gives people options. Stop charging 3 to 400K (what ilvl 70 was before 2.1) per piece and maybe more people will take your option over grinding myth for alts.
